Paraphrising the famous philosopher's Erich's Fromm's posed problem "to have or to be?" - what is important to know and to understand for scientists and wider public in the nowadays situation for having or being?
Mark B. Scholl
From the standpoint of positive psychology and humanistic psychology, "to be" places more emphasis on our inner strengths and resources. These inner strengths are important for resilience in the face of adversity and stressors. These inner strengths are also the basis for forming meaningful relationships with others. Overemphasis on materialism, on the other hand, can result in feelings of emptiness, loss of meaning, and relationships that lack depth and intimacy.
